I would describe Nonmetallic behavior as primarily being how nonmetals deal with electrons: nonmetals would either ACCEPT electrons from a metal to form an ionic bond OR SHARE electrons with another nonmetal in a covalent bond. So typically, nonmetals aren't going to donate electrons in ionic bonds, like metals do (metallic behavior).
